RULE-POCKET FOR GARMENTS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 27,1912.

I Application filed June 7, 1910. Serial No. 565,493.

To all'whom it may concern: I

Be it known that I, SoLoMoN Kinsnsn, a citizen of the United Statesfresiding at Butte, in the county of Silverbow, State of Montana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Rule-Pockets for Garments; and I dohereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to .make and use the same.

This invention relates to apparel and more particularly to pockets adapted for use in connection with garments and espe cially for overalls for miners or other laborers.

The primary object of the invention is .to provide a pocket for overalls adapted to receive a folding rule whereby the latter is held against accidental removal from the pocket whenthe wearer of the overalls is stooping o'r-kneeling, although permitting free access to the pocket for the ready and quick removal of the rule when confined therein.

VVit-h these and other objects in view the invention consists in the construction, combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, disclosing the preferred forms of embodiment of the invention and pointed out in the claim hereunto appended.

In the drawings :Figure 1 is a side elevation of a pair of overalls having my improved rule pocket attached thereto. Fig. 2 is a fragmentary perspective view of the foldable rule pocket the same being on an enlarged scale.

Similar reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughout the several Secured to the upper edge of the front and backsections 7 and 8 is a waist band 11' of the ordinary construction, which extends from the edge of one flap of the fly around the upper edge of the overalls to the edge of the other flap of said fly, the band being stitched thereto in the ordinary way.

At a suitable point spaced from the waist band 11 and at one side of-the overalls is stitched a rule pocket comprising a rectangular piece of material 18 the latterbeing stitched to the said overalls throughout its marginal edge to form a bulged portion 19 within the stitched lines to form vertical sides and fiat end walls and near. the upper end of this bulged portion is a transverse elongated slot 20 which permits the insertion of a rule 21 within said pocket and the removal thereof from the same when desired. The slot 20 provides a guard cap 22 that overhangs the pieces in the pocket to be occupied by the rule and is adapted to engage the upper end of'the rule so as to prevent the possibility of accidental loss thereof from the pocket and also to prevent the rule falling out of the pocket during varying attitudes assumed by the wearer of the overalls in the execution of his labor.

What isclaimed is A rule pocket for garments, said pocket comprising a single section of material having vertical sides and a flange portion sewed in position and formed with an outwardly bulged portion with flat end walls and adapted to hold a rule, the said pocket being formed with atransverse slot in its bulged portion and extending into the vertical sides thereof to form a cap portion,

the lower edge of which is spaced from the upper edge of thepocket portion and directly overhanging said pocket portion for inclosing the upper end of the rule.

In testimony whereof, I aflix my signature, in presence of two witnesses.
